### Gitpod Setup

<Info>
  This guide explains how to set up Formbricks in a **Gitpod** workspace.
</Info>

**Requirements:**

- A Gitpod workspace with Node.JS, pnpm, and Docker support.

**Steps:**

1. **Open the repository in Gitpod. The workspace typically clones the repo automatically. If not:**
    ```bash
    git clone https://github.com/formbricks/formbricks && cd formbricks
    ```

2. **Setup NodeJS with nvm:**
    ```bash
    nvm install && nvm use
    ```

3. **Install dependencies:**
    ```bash
    pnpm install
    ```

4. **Create a `.env` file:**
    ```bash
    cp .env.example .env
    ```

5. **Generate & set secret values:**
    ```bash
    sed -i '/^ENCRYPTION_KEY=/c\ENCRYPTION_KEY='$(openssl rand -hex 32) .env
    sed -i '/^NEXTAUTH_SECRET=/c\NEXTAUTH_SECRET='$(openssl rand -hex 32) .env
    sed -i '/^CRON_SECRET=/c\CRON_SECRET='$(openssl rand -hex 32) .env
    ```

6. **Run the development setup:**
    ```bash
    pnpm go
    ```

Access the running app via the forwarded port (typically [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) inside Gitpod).

<Tip>
  Check your Gitpod settings to ensure Docker is enabled if required.
